Pete, I agree on the .22's! I have been traveling and have looked along the way for .22's anywhere I had the chance to stop and look. I looked here in New Hampshire (and Maine), Pennsylvania, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Louisiana as I traveled. I went into big box stores and little gun shops I saw along the way and I only saw one box of .22s.
I am shooting .22 tomorrow and will probably be out of ammunition when I return home. |

I bought a brick of Winchester 209s at KTP last tuesday, and paid $45. Saw it friday in NY for $36.50. Shot was $48, plenty of powder.

None of this shortage is good. But it seems to be very regional/area sensitive. Or maybe just luck. I have no problem finding powder (albeit not my preferred type) and most primers. both at slightly elevated prices of course. But a $54 bag of shot is better than NO bag of shot.

I was at Gander Mountain this week and bought a brick of federal 22s for $2.59 a box. Their ammo shelves were full .

Maybe some of the vendors aren't pushing the manufacturers and suppliers hard enough to get their shelves filled. You'd think a high-volume store like KTP would have enough buying power (leverage) to get more than they do.

I was just at the largest gun store in my area. Plenty of powder and wads. I bought 2 boxes of 45ACP HP ammo but no 22 ammo.
